1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a hallmark of tissue homeostasis and numerous human diseases. Ferroptosis, a more recently discovered type of PCD, is uniquely dependent on enzymatically driven accumulation of specific hydroperoxy-phospholipid species and iron-dependent reduction-oxidation (redox) dysregulation. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a critical role in the pathogeneses of several dermatologic disorders, including infections, malignancies, and chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. In this study, we review relevant regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, illustrate the challenges faced by the studies of ferroptosis, and highlight ferroptosis vulnerabilities in the redox balance of the skin. Furthermore, we review the link between ferroptosis and skin immunosurveillance and discuss ferroptosis functions in select skin diseases. Additional mechanistic studies that link ferroptosis to dysregulated cellular metabolism and proliferation, inflammation, and carcinogenesis will accelerate the emergence of new preventative and therapeutic strategies across a variety of dermatologic conditions.
